CREATE received the following letter from Jack Layton on March 10:
----

"Thank you for copying me on your letter to the Prime Minister regarding
CREATE's proposal for a national research laboratory. I believe that
this plan deserves serious consideration by the government and has the
potential to serve Canada's medical isotope and research needs for the
future.

In the context of a vacuum of leadership from the federal government,
the efforts of the Chalk River workers to propose solutions are
laudable. A national research laboratory could play an important role in
a wide range of applications including the safe management of nuclear
sites.

Again, I appreciate having the benefit of your comments on this issue.
Please be assured that my New Democrat colleagues and I will press the
Harper government to take this proposal seriously and work to correct
the uncertainty they have created for Canada's science and research
workers. All the best.
